My son and I decided to stock our new system with local fish species that we could catch at the tide pools here in Hawaii. We found this boxfish and I can't pin point its exact species it is. Can anyone on here identify it so I know exactly how to care for it? Ican tell you now that flake food interests him cause he was nibbling at it when I fed the chromis we caught.

Well, from what I found on Google it looks like a spotted boxfish, perhaps a juvenile one as it doesn't 100% match up to what I'm finding.
